This is after - we tore out the wall between the kitchen and dining room and built an island, new light fixtures, new floor....

This is a before picture of the kitchen
I just have to grab a few things, make sure the pets are okay and then we're off. My new book is proving to be a good choice. I'm reading the Vampire Chronciles - Interview with the Vampire right now. I found myself today at work wishing I was curled up in my couch with it so that's a good indication. Hopefully I'll get to see my good friend for a quick visit tomorrow. She's looking a little 'goth' here, I don't know, was that the intention??!!
